TETRANDRINE AS A CALCIUM ANTAGONIST
Abstract
1. The Ca(2+)-antagonism of tetrandrine (TET) on the Ca2+ mobilization in various types of cells were reviewed. Inositol trisphosphate (IP3)-generating drugs were used as Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonists and the effects were compared with those produced by using the microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (TG), which is a tool for analysing Ca2+ store-regulated Ca2+ entry (capacitative Ca2+ entry). 2.
